Thanks Ivan, a very interesting read. As a non-native en speaker, I understand these issues rather well. Nevertheless, I think there is also something else, maybe self sufficiency? A strong developing group has little incentive to open to outside world.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: FOSS4GIS business models
Paolo, I just got the latest issue of Dr. Dobbs Magazine with this cover-page article "South American Software Development": http://www.ddj.com/architect/205600791;jsessionid=AXESE4MZSIY54QSNDLPCKHSCJUNN2JVN This article is more focused on Brazil than anywhere else in South America. It give a little light on the cultural differences that could lead to misunderstanding from outsiders. The article does mention Forum participation and language barriers as an issue.

[OSGeo-Discuss] 2007 Annual Report - your involvement
Hi everyone, To sum up the activity of our first full year, the board has asked me to help coordinate production of an annual report. The report is aimed at capturing information from the whole spectrum of OSGeo committees, local chapters and projects -- which has grown into a really long list. This note is just a heads-up that I will be in touch with many of you about contributing reports for your project, committee or chapter. To date, projects and committees have not be required to contribute regular reports, but this report really needs as much input as possible to be useful. There will be some templates available for contributing reports that will go into the full document. I've put together a rough outline of the basic set of reports as well as the contact I will harass for help. If your name is on there and it should be someone else, please change it and let them know: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Annual_Report_2007 Also, if you see areas or topics missing from the list, please add it or let me kjnow. 2007 was such a great year and lots has happened, so I look forward to collecting the material and think it will be really exciting to have this report available. We will have a couple months to get it together. Sincerely, Tyler ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
